ALORÆ - AFTER DARK (Phonk Remix)

[Verse 1] Stage set Spotlight Shimmer on my lashes Black pens signing names on the passes Smile sly Camera in my face I’m laughing Backstage Zipper up my leather jacket [Pre-Chorus] Switch heels in the van Lace tight Setlist in my hand turns to fight plan by night Fake smiles Real scars under tights You stream my songs You don’t see the knives [Chorus] Ah-low-ray after dark We sing Then tear hearts from the shadows (hey) Cherry on our lips Power at the tip of the arrow Candy-coated fangs We dance where the danger starts Bubblegum hooks But we break you apart Ah-low-ray after dark [Verse 2] Soundcheck Mic live I’m teasing with the front row Same hands Later drawing sigils on the window Cute nails Still scratch a curse mark from your halo One wink Next blink You’re dust on the floor Oh [Pre-Chorus] Red text on the phone One ring Manager says “rest” But the portal’s opening We change outfits in a speeding car From sequins to scars From fan screams to war [Chorus] Ah-low-ray after dark We sing Then tear hearts from the shadows (hey) Cherry on our lips Power at the tip of the arrow Candy-coated fangs We dance where the danger starts Bubblegum hooks But we break you apart Ah-low-ray after dark [Beat Switch] [Rap Section] Midnight gloss but the blade don’t dull Pretty little lie with a mouth full of pull Front row love but it turn real fast One wrong move, now you part of the past Flash, pose — yeah we eat that light Then we ghost when the city hit black at night Sweet face, sharp aim, no miss You don’t wanna be the name on the list We go up, you go down, that’s fate Heart in my hand like a high-stakes game Say my name, hear the crowd vibrate Ah-low-ray — yeah we don’t play safe Ah-low-ray — say it twice Ah-low-ray — we don’t fight nice [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Shh Don’t tell them what we do at night Pose for the pic Then we step in the fight [low vocal register] I hit the note Then I hit between the eyes We save the world Then rehearse at nine [crescendo] Lights off Only neon in our pupils We spin We split We’re brutal and beautiful Crowd chant our name while the underworld shakes We hold your hearts And we guard your gates [Final Chorus] Ah-low-ray after dark We sing Then tear hearts from the shadows (hey) Cherry on our lips Power at the tip of the arrow Ah-low-ray after dark We sing Then tear hearts from the shadows (hey) Cherry on our lips Power at the tip of the arrow Candy-coated fangs We dance where the danger starts Bubblegum hooks But we break you apart
